Saratoga Springs Home Inspectors have unique challenges. Saratoga Springs is full of old and historic buildings, as well as new construction and construction from multiple time periods. If a home inspector does two home inspections in one day in Saratoga Springs NY, he may find himself inspecting a 150-year-old historic building with a two pipe steam radiator system, slate roofing, balloon framing, and very unique issues. Then, in the same day, he may find himself doing a home inspection on a brand new custom built home with forced air heat and radiant floor supplemental heat, asphalt shingle, platform framing, and many “green” features.

It takes a special type of home inspector to inspect in Saratoga Springs. If you are buying a home in the Saratoga Springs area, how can you be sure that your home inspector is the right home inspector for the job? It all comes down to talking. Talk with your home inspector. ask him about the home, describe it to him and see if he has a knowledge of that type of building. Also, do your research. If the home inspector you want has just moved to the area or has experience on only newer homes than he may not be the right choice for an older home. On the other hand, if your home inspector is experienced in newer homes, and your potential home is newer, than it is likely a good fit.
